In case what's missing from your life is a rigorous analysis of what has been validated and disproven in the "Steele Dossier"--and what remains neither at this stage-- Sara Grant and Chuck Rosenberg have you covered...

"These materials buttress some of Steele's reporting, both specifically and thematically. The dossier holds up well over time, and none of it, to our knowledge, has been disproven."

Should be required reading - where's Sniper? Get him in here.

LOL, nice wordsmithing there by the author. What's another way of saying that something hasn't been disproven? Unproven, maybe? It also doesn't in any way say that the dossier has been verified, or proven to be true.

Did you miss this part?

"But much of the reporting simply remains uncorroborated, at least by the yardstick we are using. Most significantly, the dossier reports a "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation between [Trump and his associates] and the Russian leadership," including an "intelligence exchange [that] had been running between them for at least 8 years."

Did you guys even read this thing?

What part of "well-developed conspiracy of co-operation between [Trump and his associates] and the Russian leadership," including an "intelligence exchange [that] had been running between them for at least 8 years." are you struggling with Snipe?

I'm trying to help you out here... your boy is dirty AF.

You realize that the quote you just posted was listed as an example of one of the things in the dossier that has NOT been proven, right?

The full quote is below:

There's literally a shit ton of evidence, indicted Russians, indicted trump campaign people, and more coming. Did YOU read the whole thing?

Are you still going to pretend that the dossier is somehow inappropriate in a FISA court? Somehow the whole Mueller investigation is illegitimate? You're still on page one and the rest of us are reading the final chapter.

You've got to admit, this is one juicy spy novel, with the dumbest players ever.

More dominos yet to fall, that's for sure. I'm hoping to see that pinhead with the Nixon tattoo in a GITMO jumpsuit. Maybe a couple of the kids too. Melania deported.
